He reminds me a lot of Al Jourgensen. A drunk mess who hasn't had a good album in years, and burnt many bridges. Those two guys had a skill to surround themselves with super talented people until they finally got pissed and left. The well's dry now. If Manson were to clean up his act, it could probably be a different story, but he won't. Jourgensen's a lost cause altogether.

Yeah, that's pretty spot on.Originally Posted by Piko

It really makes me wonder what it would be like to witness Marilyn Manson hanging out with Ministry.
As for Marilyn Manson, his first four albums will always be my favorites. I even liked The Golden Age of Grotesque. I suppose I was just okay with it. As for Eat Me, Drink Me, I just wasn't too fond of it. That album didn't click with me, and it made me hesitant to check out The High End of Low. It should be better since Twiggy is on it right?
(I really haven't followed up on Marilyn Manson for quite a while, and would like to know what others think here. I have checked out a few songs from The High End of Low on YouTube though, but I didn't really get into them.)

It's pretty much the same quality-wise as Eat Me, Drink Me. Twiggy is in on it, yes, but I don't think Twiggy was ever that influential in the creativity department, so it doesn't really matter much that he's back. There's a couple good songs on the album that are okay musically-speaking, but there's not a single one on there that's good lyrically-speaking.It really makes me wonder what it would be like to witness Marilyn Manson hanging out with Ministry.

It's worth a listen, just don't expect much.

What if Manson and Jourgenson teamed up? It would be like looking in a mirror and maybe both of them could simultaneously realize that theres a difference between being an insufferable asshole and creatively expressing justified anger at a world that is void of fairness and sanity? Probably won`t happen though...
